More rain over the next 18 hours or so, with most locations getting 1-2 inches, although a few places could get as much as 3 inches. The ground is already saturated so the NWS has issued a flood watch (again).

Things will start to improve somewhat on Saturday, although it should remain fairly cloudy with a few stray showers. It is starting to look like Sunday should be a decent day, however…..Partly sunny and in the 70s. It should be quite muggy throughout the weekend with summer like dewpoints in the mid 60s.

Even though there will be improvement over the weekend things will not completely clear out until later next week. There is an upper-level low pressure system which is “cut-off” from the jet stream out over the midwest. This low will continue to spin up surface lows over the eastern U.S. for several days until the jet stream finally dips far enough south to grab hold of it and pull it away.

So, even though there will certainly be dry periods and even some sunny periods there will also be a few periods of rain and showers through Wednesday. It will remain quite warm and humid for this time of year as the counterclockwise circulation around the cut-off low brings warm humid air up from the south (along with the showers).
